[...] Disable Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers. I do this because, again, I don’t have any hardware on this machine that needs those drivers. That Atheros-based Corega wireless card I was using a few months ago needed those incomplete drivers though. Maybe that had something to do with why it was misbehaving. [...]

I was having similar problems with my atheros wifi card using the newly mainlined ath5k on 2.6.27. So much so that the noise calibration was starting to hog down the system after a few of days of uptime. However, with later releases the problem disappeared on the same hardware.

So, the “noise” could be due a bug/regression of the utilized driver.

You’ve got me hooked on Revolution Void as well, having downloaded the last 2 albums. It’s something I can see myself listening to for a long time to come.
Now I’ll need to scour Jamendo for some other tunes as well. Thanks for that

Well, then we can probably rule out our taste in music as the source of the errors …

So, just on a lark I looked up Revolution Void on Last.fm and liking very much what I heard I got two of his albums. I am seriously impressed, and have found no ill wireless effects as of yet.
However, I may not be listening to it as loud as you were :^)
